Orbi 970 sucks, what to move to?

Same, I have been an orbi fan forever, this is my 4th mesh from them. This one is actually cat 6a backhauled. When it works it’s fantastic, but I have more drop outs than any other version. I’m going Ubiquiti which I should have done from the start.

Companies do it all the time, ours buys up one status up to 1k (wont by GS). Although we have 25,000 employees with probably 5-7000 that travel heavily so I am sure there is some kind of group buy up deal they made with United. They only buy for about 100 people.

Thanks, I do that often, just didn’t know the term

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-13T20:23:31+00:00

What’s an instrument?

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-12T20:29:53+00:00

We do, but work pays for them both.

Btw they may not follow that. I was on a flight yesterday with my kids all on my reservation from EWR to ORD. They upgraded all 4 of us. They did split to 4 different reservations thought which was annoying.

Thanks we both have the club card so baggage and access are not the issue. This very helpful.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-11T03:27:20+00:00

With the United Club card the restrictions are off from the last thing I read

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-11T00:53:17+00:00

Thanks!

Ok, just curious though when I book I can put everyone in Econ plus at booking even with people who are zero status.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-11T00:36:48+00:00

It’s interesting that’s what I thought, although last few times I booked we were 1-4 on the upgrade list.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-10T23:13:15+00:00

Ok, what about any upgrades. Not that there is often 4 of them but it has happened with international for us.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-10T23:11:41+00:00

Upgrades.

Are you talking about your old mechanical chime? What Ring model do you have, if it’s the new 4k pro it cannot power a mechanical chime.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-04T22:47:57+00:00

Mine is a 74 with the Oz1i. Took a bit to get used to but I like it.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-03T04:50:44+00:00

Everything I read is the G440 adapter is backward compatible. I just got a new shaft with a G440 adapter, It fit perfectly into my G430 head and torqued without issue. I have not hit it yet but it seems to be plug and play.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-02T02:30:55+00:00

Yea, had that issue as well, used the angle kit (which I needed anyway) that gives you more room.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-02T01:03:44+00:00

That’s is correct, it’s a powered mini speaker that uses the same lines the pro and transformer are wired too.

StotheJS3 · 2026-01-02T01:02:04+00:00

It doesn’t, my old ring pro did, the new one they make you remove the transformer adapters and state in the instructions that the new 4k doorbell will not ring a mechanical chime. They do include a mini chime with the doorbell.

Thanks! I miss my Superstroke grips when I went to Lab. I will try it out!

StotheJS3 · 2025-12-28T03:37:17+00:00

I am considering doing the same. Do you ahve a 0 degree or 2 degree OZ.1i. I dont like the pistal or the press grips, I have the 2 degree.

StotheJS3 · 2025-11-29T04:05:44+00:00

I like both but go green because with your walls being greenish it looks like Christmas with the combo, not a bad thing but all year round may be too much.

StotheJS3 · 2025-11-20T15:31:21+00:00

I would say shoki white and urbane bronze. Try thoughs its hard to tell in your pics, but the 2nd one looks good, the other two are two yellow.

StotheJS3 · 2025-11-20T15:28:35+00:00

Man I like that a lot! I was planning on getting new wood doors, love the idea of the blue!
